Essay Title: Effect of Global Economy on Water Quality and Availability in the Developing Countries
ESSAY STRUCTURE
PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
Background: Importance of water, overexploitation – reason for degradation.
Thesis: Increasing industrial activities, owing to expanding global economy, are responsible for water resource degradation.
Outline: Effect of water resource degradation on human life, exploring possible solutions
PARAGRAPH 1
TS: Climate change is one of the prime causes of water resource degradation
PARAGRAPH 2
TS: Virtual water trade amongst global community is also an important factor through which water scarcity may occur
PARAGRAPH 3
TS: Increasing demand of energy for a global economy, needs more water
PARAGRAPH 4
TS: Increasing demand of transbounday river water for industrial purpose is putting different countries in conflict
PARAGRAPH 5
TS: Farmers are turning to water intensive ‘Cash crops.’
PARAGRAPH 6
TS:
- Effects of water quality deterioration, ecosystem health, increase in treatment costs (Pacific Institute, 2013).
- Stringent regulations in developed countries and Industrial migration to developing countries (World Water Assessment Programme, 2009).
-
PARAGRAPH 7
TS: Increasing naval transport and industrial activities are causing sea water pollution and damage to marine ecology
PARAGRAPH 8
TS: Big dams seem to be often causing more problems than solutions. This may include human displacement social unrest, endangering rare species and their habitats, changes in earth’s gravitation
PARAGRAPH 9
TS: Revival of existing solutions to the problems
PARAGRAPH 10
TS: Recommended solutions – Broadened role of developed countries.
CONCLUSION
Restate Thesis
Summary
Impact of global economy
Shifting of industries
Growth vs. Economy, catch 22 for developing countries (Kennedy Jr. 2004)
Final statement:
Global reasons of the problem warrant global cooperation to find a solution (Hoekstra, 2006).
